Cooperative action RPG brawler Towerborne to launch in February
Developed by Stoic, the creators of The Banner Saga trilogy, Towerborne will launch on February 26th with a massive full-game update, including a full narrative arc, new side quests, an overhauled Bounty Board, and additional music by composer Austin Wintory.

The cooperative, side-scrolling action RPG brawler is currently available in early access for Xbox Series X|S and Windows through Steam, verified for use with the Steam Deck. With the 1.0 version full game update, the focus shifts from the original vision as a free-to-play, always online title to a buy once, offline game.

As a departure from the tone of The Banner Saga, the developers decided to imbue their followup with a hopeful, optimistic sense of wonder. Set in a vibrant fantasy world, players can battle solo or alongside companions to safeguard the denizens of the Belfry from the monsters lurking outside the tower's walls.


The soundtrack album by The Banner Saga series composer is streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube Music. The ambitious score was recorded with Hollywood studio musicians at the Warner Brothers Scoring Stage in Los Angeles.

Recording studio behind-the-scenes videos can be viewed on the Towerborne YouTube channel. The music preview video "Pure Musical Optimism" is streaming on the composer's channel, filmed by Landon Donaho and edited by Dallas Crane.

Towerborne will be available upon launch for Xbox Series X|S (included with Game Pass), Windows through Steam, and PlayStation 5 consoles.
